A Pictorial Lesson in the Art of Warfare: The Italian Army 1936–

[unmerged(9524)]

Prego e buon venuti! E perche sei il primo Italiano c'e` rispondi qui, ti ringrazio per i tuoi cari parole!

Spero c'e` miei paroli Italiani sono guisti?!

Avanti Italia, avanti i soldati!

I confirm Anibal translation as well... and since I hope to know Italian well enough, It should be the right translation

As for 2Coats sentence... well he wasn't bad at all, if not for some few imperfections and spelling

And, once again, keep up your AAR, because it's fantastic, and since I'm not a very big poster here (just look at the low number of messages and the registration date)... in order to make me post it really must be great o

Eh eh

Saluti

Been away from the HOI forum for a while. It seems the Italian Empire does not rest.
The last 9 pages have been a wonderful read. Applause from me.
Currently it is THE AAR as far as I am concerned.

Episode 8 - Scene 3: FEZta for the Fall of Fez

Afterword:
Frankie - Im not too sure! Sometimes I think that the AI is just wait for the player to DOW them so that it can just walk into its objectives!!!
Anibal - Quite right! The Med is wrapped up. But if the UK decide to send the Home Fleet I could be buggered!
Commandante - I dont really know. Im not at war with Germany and thought that now I own the Suez they would go through?! Weird indeed!!
BRAVEn - Ok, ok, the rock must fall soon! Ill send the order to seize Fraggle Rock or is it Alcatraz?!
Exterous - No bangwagons here, OK!
Semi-Lobster - Oooh I like surprises. And there should be some more before the end!! And not all of my doing....
Bossmanden - Thx. Must be quite cool to be able to read this more than one update at a time. Just like reading the Beano or Dandy!
And to everyone who noticed my imperfect italian, yes my Italian isnt that great, but hey I'll survive, I think. And to Giovanni and any other Italians reading my AAR I hope you take my awful use of Italian not too seriously..... And now, back to the story!

I confirm Anibal translation as well... and since I hope to know Italian well enough, It should be the right translation

I also confirm the wording, with my vast knowladge of Italien from having heard it about twice

Thats alot of ghostriders

Secret Weapon

Oh no!!!
Another Italian secret weapon: the Salami Torpedo!!!
*shudders and ducks under desk

Great update, as always.

 

[Commandante]

Who you gonna call? ...Ghostriders!

 

[Chengar Qordath]

As someone who does not have HOI yet, I have to ask, what exactly are ghostriders? Is it just armies with no divisions attached, some sort of strange bug? Anyway, it looks like the North African offensive is starting to get wrapped up.

And Gibralter must be destroyed.

It's a weird bug (In my Siam game there's been an Australian tank division retreating from Rangoon into the sea for about three game years now). A Ghostrider is basically a corps with no divisions in it, but strangely enough you can asign leaders to them. So you can say for example, Rommel Single-handidly took Tripoli!

 

[Zanza]

I've never seen those ghostriders in 1.05c. I saw them in 1.04 however. I think they appear when a division is completly annihilated by attrition, which happens often in the Sahara.

Episode 8 - Scene 4: Sam plays one last time in Casablanca

Afterword:
Zanza - Quite right!
Commandante - Queue the music...Der, der, der, der der, de-de-de-de-de-de Ghostriders...!
Chengar- Yes Semi Lobster is correct. Dont worry about them if you have 1.05b or later.
Exterous - Well as everyone knows these Ghostrider units were removed after 1.05 as they were seen as too powerful!
Semi-Lobster - Thx for answering Chengars question.
CaptainCernick - Mmmm Salami torpedos.

Now it seems that you're ready for Operazione Giuoco Piano, right?
:rofl:

 

[Commandante]

It seems as if you'll have to hurry to create your Mare Nostrum before it's time to fight the USSR... Which could prove to be interesting. Will Italy prevail where Germany failed?

 

[Semi-Lobster]

Invade Switzerland!!! Look at all the cities with Italians names in them! Therfore Bellinzona, Lugano, Locarno and Biasca should belong to Il Duce! Never trust the Swiss! They think they're all high and mighty with all that neutrality, you go show them a thing or two 2coats!

 

[unmerged(18893)]

Yes! ANd take their chocolate too!

 

[unmerged(17780)]

All is well in Benito's empire. Graziani is back in homeland to plan out the invasion of... Gibraltar!?

That Switzerland could be a tough nut to crack, with their mountains and all.

 

[unmerged(18435)]

Time sure does fly... its seems like you conquered Yugoslavia many years ago :wacko:

 

[unmerged(22412)]

C'mon update!

 

[unmerged(18893)]

update!!!!

 

[unmerged(18435)]

Maybe he is on vacation?

 

[unmerged(17780)]

Let the guy have some rest. It is after all New Years day. At least I feel a little tired...
